HC Deb 13 May 1980 vol 984 cc405-6W
Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Trade, in view of the dangers of Loctite and similar super glues, if he will seek to take steps to restrict sale of such substances to keep them from children.

Mrs. Sally Oppenheim

I am not at present aware of any hazards associated with the use of " super glues " so great as to warrant imposing restrictions on their sale to children. Members of the British Adhesive Manufacturers' Association have voluntarily adopted a code of packaging and labelling which is intended to keep these glues from children. I shall keep under consideration the case for making it compulsory to label these glues with appropriate warnings and to provide advice on safety with each package.
